With the help of Instabug, we can easily obtain actual beta customer feedback, and customers simply need to shake the phone and they will receive a pop-up where they can share their feedback if they experience anything wrong or want to express appreciation or disappointment.

If it does not get attached with upcoming tools and other things that parallelly work with developers, that would be a discontinuation of these features by Instabug or by the developers.

It would be beneficial if the tool could be more precise in capturing steps, focusing only on the relevant ones. For example, there were some times when it caught some extra screenshots which were not included in the steps. Sometimes, it also happened that it got some extra steps that were not in there to reproduce the bug. We also called that screenshot and the steps there as well.
